Black Summoner
Oshimeter
Synopsis
To prepare for reincarnation in another world, Kelvin gives up select memories from his previous life in exchange for powerful abilities, additional skill points, and an S-class summoner title. As a bonus, the goddess facilitating his rebirth, Melfina, offers him a choice of any companion to give him a head start in his summoner role. Kelvin—who has fallen head over heels for Melfina at first sight—promptly chooses the deity, confident that his passionate feelings for her will resurface even without all of his memories. Kelvin embarks on his exciting new journey with Melfina as his guide. However, in order to summon his beloved goddess' physical form, he needs to acquire significant amounts of mana points—and the best way to accomplish this is to level up by fighting strong enemies and making contracts with even stronger companions.

I love it I've always had a soft spot for isekai and action and adventurous animes that have an op main character and also a protective lover and you can definitely tell black summoner might be a harem story i won't know until I've watched everything if more comes out but i am very curious about who her father is Efil i mean but also i might just go read the manga if another season isn't going to happen but then theres the 3D battle scene so creative and awesome so game visual like 😭
Black Summoner is a show that does nothing new and does nothing particularly well. It's a power fantasy with a protagonist who has no personality, a world that feels like a video game, and a slavery subplot that it never addresses. The supporting cast is likable, the soundtrack is solid, and a few episodes—particularly 5, 7, and 11—are genuinely entertaining. But the whole is less than the sum of its parts. If you're a diehard isekai fan who just wants more of the same, you'll probably enjoy this well enough. If you're tired of the genre, this won't change your mind. And if you're bothered by casual slavery in fantasy anime, this one will frustrate you. It's not the worst isekai ever made. It's just not worth remembering.
Episode 10 is a "calm before the storm" episode, and it mostly works. The family bonding is sweet, Alex the Shadow Wolf is a great addition, and Rion continues to be a welcome presence. The assassination attempt adds a jolt of tension at the right moment. The Trycen subplot at the end is underdeveloped and feels rushed, but it does set up stakes for the final episodes. If you've been enjoying the show's lighter moments, this episode delivers more of that. If you're waiting for the plot to kick into high gear, the last two minutes suggest that's coming.
Episode 3 is a step back from Episode 2. The Black Knight fight was the highlight of the series so far, and this episode doesn't have anything to replace it. It's all setup—guild politics, world-building, and introducing Efil—but none of it is particularly interesting. Kelvin is still boring, the world is still generic, and the slavery stuff is handled poorly. If you're still watching, you're probably watching for the fights. This episode doesn't have one. That's a problem.

Episode 12 is a standard isekai season finale. It delivers a boss fight, wraps up the elf village arc, and ends on a "the story continues" note that doesn't resolve the bigger conflict with Trycen. The Clive fight is supposed to be the payoff for the season, but it feels routine because Kelvin has never been pushed to his limits. The show's biggest problem is that Kelvin is a blank slate. He's a battle junkie with no memories and no personality beyond wanting to fight strong opponents. The supporting cast—Efil, Sera, Rion, Melfina—are more interesting than he is, but the show keeps them in the background while Kelvin solves everything. The slavery subplot remains uncomfortable and unaddressed. And the season ends without a satisfying conclusion to any of the character arcs it introduced. If you made it this far, you probably already know how you feel about this show. It's generic isekai comfort food—watchable, forgettable, and ultimately hollow. The season finale doesn't change that.
Episode 11 is the best episode of Black Summoner since Episode 7. It finally gives Efil something to do beyond being the team mom, it gives Rion a genuine victory, and it sets up a larger conflict with Trycen that feels like it actually matters. The elf village is a better setting than the generic towns from earlier episodes, and the writing is sharper than usual. The show is still a power fantasy with a protagonist who has no real personality. But episodes like this prove that it can be more than that when it bothers to give its supporting cast something meaningful to do.
Episode 9 is a strong episode. It finally gives the series some thematic weight by exploring what it means to be reincarnated and why someone would be grateful for it. Rio is a welcome addition—she's not just another combat unit; she has a perspective that the other characters lack. The world-building about Demon Kings and Heroes is straightforward but effective, and it sets up future stakes. The show is still generic isekai at its core, but episodes like this suggest it's trying to be more than that. Whether it succeeds depends on what it does with Rio and the hero-summoning concept going forward.
Episode 8 is a cooldown episode after the intensity of Episode 7. It's not bad—Queen Tsubaki is a fun character, the rice subplot finally pays off, and Melfina's arrival is a solid cliffhanger. But it's also not particularly memorable. It's the kind of episode you watch to get to the next one. If you've been enjoying the show, this will keep you entertained. If you were hoping the momentum from Episode 7 would carry forward, you might be a little disappointed.
